The City of Koyukuk operates the central watering point at the washeteria and residents haul their own water. The city also maintains honeybucket pits and the wastewater lagoon. The City council is the policy making body for the utility.
Residents haul treated well water from the washeteria and use honeybuckets or pit privies. Households are not plumbed. The school and washeteria use city water, with wastewater disposal into a lagoon. A master plan is completed, and preliminary work has begun to upgrade the community to a flush/haul system. The five households on the honey bucket haul demonstration system have been inoperable since Fall 2004, due to the trailer not being able to withstand the weight of the water tank.

RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:

On November 1, RUBA staff and the RUBA QuickBooks contractor traveled to the City of Koyukuk to conduct the first of three QuickBooks setup visits. RUBA staff met with the city manager and were informed that the clerk was unable to be there due to a medical complication keeping her in Fairbanks. RUBA staff decided to continue with the setup and installed QuickBooks on the city computer. RUBA staff then sat down with the manager to ask questions concerning what they wanted to be put in the file. RUBA staff were told that having the budget and the utility customer list ready for the clerks return would make the transition easier. RUBA staff were also able to set up a tentative date for the second trip occurring on January 23. RUBA staff left the city with a QuickBooks file in place ready for the city clerk.

RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:

Fairbanks RUBA staff will travel to the city on January 23, 2012 to conduct the second of three QuickBooks set up visits with the State QuickBooks contractor.
